You'll have to STAND UP and FIGHT! Shabbos Kestenbaum on Behind the Bima

would you discourage Jewish students from coming to these ivy league as Jews we are Innovative we are resourceful we are smart we don't need Harvard Harvard needs us and there are a lot of personal anecdotes and there also just empirical data that supports that we really don't need the Ivy Leagues The Ivy Leagues very much need their Jewish students I've had dozens of conversations with prospective and admitted students in the past couple of months I can't think of a single conversation that ended with me saying yeah I think you should come here if you can create a narrative where it makes sense because you're going to fight and you're not going to sit down you're not going to shut up then that's one thing but most of these students just want an education and they just want to learn I haven't been able to learn because I have had to number one fight this cause and number two walk through hordes of students who are screaming at me globalize the inata who are blocking off campus access there are Judges who aren't even hiring from Harvard anymore so the value of the IV League degree has plummeted numerously and explicitly in the last couple [Music]
